浪漫史研究专业允许学生将两种或三种浪漫史语言和文学作品结合起来。在重点和设计方面跨文化，这个特殊领域承认浪漫主义文学和文化在其整个历史中的共同遗产与不同的重点和方向。一些学生精通一种浪漫语言，并且对第二种甚至第三种浪漫语言有所了解，但是在到达哈佛之前不必先学习两种或多种语言。
The Special Field of Romance Studies permits students to combine work in two or three Romance languages and literatures. Cross-cultural in focus and design, this Special Field acknowledges a common heritage matched by different emphases and directions in Romance literatures and cultures throughout their history. Some students enter the concentration with proficiency in one Romance language and some knowledge of a second or even a third Romance language, but it is not necessary to have begun study of two or more languages before arriving at Harvard.
